Yup, reminds me of a story that my hunting buddy told me about some stuck up outdoorsman at a shop in Calgary, didn't matter what it was , he was the elite of the elite , never casting to anything but a rising fish with a dry, etc.
One day they were talking around the coffee pot about hunting grouse and this guy said something about not shooting them unless his champion trained pointer put them up, and only then with his SXS , if they were "on the rise".
My buddy looked at him straight faced and remarked
" They FLY??!!"
Too funny, really!
